Mom's Wedding Day

Dear Mom,

Today is your wedding day! It is so hard to believe this day is here...I couldn't be more happy for you! On this day, I reflect on my life with you as my mom...

-------------------------------------

Because you are my mom, you have loved me since day one.

You had no idea what kind of life you had just begun!

You took me by the hand to help me walk on my own.

Then before you knew it, I was grown!

You taught me the difference between right and wrong.

You brought me up in church to learn that God's love will keep me strong!

You showed me how to be exactly who I want to be

And not let anyone try to change me!

Being a mom was probably not an easy task,

But you did your job proudly without being asked!

You had to be both mom and dad.

Your love was constant even when I made you mad!

You are not just my mom, you're also my friend.

I know you'll be by my side until the very end!

I am your little girl, your baby I'll always be.

Your happiness I will always do my best to guarantee!

My heart couldn't be more proud that you are my mommy

Mere words can't describe how much you mean to me!

I'm excited to see your love for Garry on this your wedding day,

As you walk down the aisle with your beautiful bouquet!

------------------------------------

I love you mommy!

I love when you ____

To my Darling Husband- the amazing father of our awesome kids!

I love that people know they can turn to you when they need prayer or emotional support.

I love that you care so deeply for your friends.

I love that you are always willing to help your co-workers.

I love your work ethic!

-------------------------

I love watching you read with Xander, and seeing how much he is learning because of you taking the time to do it!

I love watching you snuggle up close to Asher on the couch to watch a movie or play a game or just because, and seeing how much he loves you!

I love watching you, with a big, goofy smile, tell Bella how pretty her baby dolls and princesses are, and seeing how cool she thinks you are-that YOU like them as much as she does!

I love watching you play games with Jonathan, and seeing how excited he gets when he actually beats you!!

--------------------------------------

I love how you give me a kiss before you leave home...

EVERY TIME!

I love how you tell me you love me anytime I need to hear it...

AND JUST BECAUSE!

I love how you work so hard to provide for our family...

WITHOUT COMPLAINT!

I love how you remember the little things that make me smile...

RUFFLES & ONION DIP!

I love that you have brought me flowers almost every single month...

FOR 11 YEARS!

-----------------------------------

I love that you are my husband.
I love that you are my BEST friend.

I love that you are the father of our children.

I love that you are my "Always and Forever!"

I love you for an infinity of infinities!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is June 10th... That means today is my day to take 10 pics in 10 hours on the 10th of the month! I love this post theme...it's fun to share with my readers what a day in the life of the Boni Bunch looks like!

I missed May's 10 on 10 post... although I had a lot of fun with what I ended up doing! My friend, Raeanne, and I have been posting 10 on 10 blog posts for awhile now, and last month we both forgot! SO, we did a 10 pics in 10 hours on the ELEVENTH of the month via text messages! It was so fun! She lives in California, and as you know, I am in Oklahoma. It felt like we spent the day hanging out together WITHOUT actually being together! I have to say, it was SO MUCH MORE fun doing it via text as our own little "bonding time" than via blog!

BUT, this month, I am back. I remembered... in fact, I set my phone calendar to alert me at midnight so I could begin taking pictures! I've never done it while at work before (I work overnight). Anytime that the 10th falls on a work day, I just wait until daylight hours and show my life at home with the kiddos. But for this month, I decided to click away starting at 1am!!

So, without further ado, here is a glimpse into my life... at WORK!

1 am- my view during my lunch break- do you like
that 31 thermal bag? I love it!!

2 am- this is "Grandma Judy"... She's pretty awesome!

3 am- My new "daddy" bought me a BIG
Diet Coke... If I can't get a caffeine IV drip, this will do!

4 am- This is Radi.. she's awesome too! (I love that
wall of bras behind her... LOL)

5am- Just one piece of TONS of freight we had the
"FUN" opportunity to work last night. Nowhere to put it, but
always have to figure out what to do with it! Good times....

6 am- "A source of persistent annoyance or exasperation"
That's the definition of "Bane of my existence"
Yep... self check-outs are the BANE of my Walmart existence!

7 am- My shift is OVER!!!!!! Wahoo!!! Time to go home!

8 am- Another beautiful day in Oklahoma! This is my view driving
home from the car shop...had to take my van in today :(
(ignore the smeared window...HA!)

9 am- Aha! In bed at last! I was JUST falling asleep when my alarm
went off reminding me to take a picture. I THOUGHT I would still be awake
so I set the alarm... DUMB ALARM! This is what I saw when my alarm went off!

2 pm- so yes, I realize that I skipped a few hours, but a girl has to
sleep, right??!! I sat down to write this week's letter for my
2013 New Years Resolution... still going strong on week 21!

There you have it.... a day in the life of ME! Tune in next month for another edition of 10 on 10!!

You know you're a mom if...

...if kids songs are the ones stuck in your head (from Renee)

...if you find kid's food in your purse or toys (from Renee)
...if you know every episode of spongebob!! (from Michelle)
...if your kids are bathed, fed, and dressed while you are famished and unbathed in your PJ's...And then at that point you have to say screw it, because you cant leave them unattended in the house long enough to take a quick shower, so you pray tomorrow is a better day! (from Jackie & Jennifer)
...if you walk through the halls of your local kindergarten and all the kids start saluting you because they have been informed you are the President of Oklahoma (yes thats right, Oklahoma, not the United States) (from Jennifer)
...if you go to work and have a coworker tell you you have something on your shirt and you look at it only to find that one of your children has used your shirt as a kleenex (from Rachael)
...if you can hug and kiss a child whose breath smells worse than a dragon's after he/she has been throwing up for most of the day and night. And, not throw up yourself in the process (from Marla)
...if the school principal calls you because your child brought your bra to their kindergarten class for show and tell (from Jennifer)
...if your extended relatives know which parts of your body have hair and which ones dont because it was your childs topic of choice at a Christmas (from Jennifer)
...if you don't mind if your kids drink out of your glass and you will still drink from it too (from Marcia)
...if your living room looks more like a play area for kids than a nice place to entertain guests (mine)
...if you have a funny story (funny now, but not at the time)...how your son passing gas during a diaper change managed to shoot a poo ball on your cheek! (from Sandi)
...if you see your parents in a whole new light! (from Katrina)
...if you carry a diaper bag as a purse (from Kelly)
...if you have items in your purse that would normally be found in a baby's room or diaper bag (from Wendy)
...if nasty bodily fluids don't bother you; OR if you have other children spit their gum into your hand when they're done! (from Candace)
...if your belly gradually got huge over 9 months. Then you suddenly had a bunch of pain followed by a human coming out of you! (from Elizabeth)
...if you start saying the phrase, "Because I said so!" and it may be to a coworker, not your children! (from Melanie)
...if you can change a dirty diaper and not get the dry heaves because it looks like pea soup & smells worse (from Diana)
...if you will eat something out of your child's mouth that they refuse to eat. (from Courtney)
...if you find Cheerios in the bottom of your purse, couch, vehicle... (from Sahar)
...if You're stopped in walmart by a nice lady who says.."Excuse me, miss....you have some cheerios stuck to your butt" (from Kym)
...if your printer mysteriously quits working a week after you buy it. You send it in for under warranty repairs and Lexmark sends it back with a note that has a Barbie shoe taped to it and all it says is we found the problem (from Amanda)
...if most of your shirts are stained on the shoulder (from droop & goop)
...if you keep a box of baby wipes in the car...just in case
...if you pull something out of your purse and a baby sock falls out
...if your dishwasher has no real cups...all sippy cups & bottles
